sloppy jalopy

okay, i made the sloppy jalopy dinner from quick and easy vegan comfort food last night. one of the nice things about this cookbook is that she has some meal plans put together for you at the beginning of the book for breakfast, lunch and dinner. the sloppy jalopy was sloppy josephs [joes] and agave glazed carrots.

the agave glazed carrots were easy. you just combine carrots, agave, cinnamon, oj, and oil ( i added a pinch of cayenne) in a casserole dish and pop it in a 350* oven for 15 min covered, 15 min uncovered. this left them yummy and warm, but still with a little crunch.

sloppy josephs: these were super delicious and satisfying. the recipe used TVP rehydrated with broth and liquid smoke for it’s nice smoky base.

I’m in the Netherlands and have no idea where to find Liquid Smoke though. Do you have an idea of how else I might get a good flavor? Should I just leave it out and hope the sauce works well enough on its own?
